In understanding the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, I learned there are 3 Anointings.

1) The Lepers Anointing

2) The Priestly- Anointing

3) the Kingly Anointing.

The Lepers anointing is the anointing every born again believer receives. This anointing is a one time anointing. It comes to us by means of our Salvation in Christ Jesus. This is the Free Gift from God.

It is called the Leper's anointing because in our filthy sin condition, the Blood of the Lamb cleanses us. Leprosy in the bible was incurable but by God. Leprosy was a picture in the OT of our condition before the Lord.

That's why we see in Leviticus 14 that the leper remained outside the camp and that the priest was to go out to him and apply the BLOOD of the Sacrifice (a picture of Jesus) and apply Oil (a picture of the Holy Spirit). It was the blood first followed by the oil.

When we got saved, we asked Jesus to forgive us of our sins, to wash us in His Blood, to come inside of us to be our Lord. At that moment, we were washed in the Blood of the Lamb and were anointed with the Oil of Joy. We received the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...all at once.

Now. Unless we are washed and cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb first, we cannot be anointed with the Oil of Joy, the Oil of Gladness.

When we repent, we are cleansed and we are then we are anointed with the Power of the Holy Spirit. We want to tell everyone about Jesus..and the power of His Blood. We want more of Jesus. We cannot get enough of the Word of God into us. We want to learn more about the Bible and what it has to say about Jesus and how He fixes our lives.
The veil has now been lifted and we can see how the yoke of bondage weighed us down. We are soo overjoyed when that yoke fell off and we know in spirit, the yoke fell off because we repented and washed ourselves clean with the Blood of Jesus. The Holy Spirit then anoints us with His Presence and with His Power.

This is the First Anointing, the Leper's anointing.

Sadly many Christians don't move up to the next level which is the Priestly Anointing. That is why there are so many carnal Christians, luke warm Christians, baby Christians, confused Christians.
